Anyways hope you enjoy the chapter!
-DUCKLING
"…Goodbye Gilbird, Goodbye Mr. kuma!" Matilda happily skipped out of the house after saying her goodbyes on her way to school. She wore a white hoodie with ears on it, a red skirt and combat boot with stripped knee-high socks. On her back was a red backpack with a maple leaf on the front.
"Tilda" called Gilbert causing the seven-year-old to stop.
"Oui, vatti?"
"Aren't you forgetting something?" he said in a mocking tone. Tilda brought her hand up to her chin as she thought.
"Well I didn't forget to feed Gilbird and Mr. kuma, I brushed my teeth, I picked up my plate…ummm..." she looked down at her feet "I didn't put my shoes on the wrong foot." She scratched her head thinking what she could be forgetting.
"Well I feel loved" Tilda's eyes widened at the sound of the voice.
"PAPA!" Mathew stood in the door next to Gilbert, hands folded dramatically over his chest and tears shining at the corners of his eyes.
"Forgotten by my own daughter…you'd think that after all this time I'd be used to it…" he lifted his hand to his head with an overly dramatic gesture.
"PAPA I'M SORRY" she said running up to Mathew.
"To think that after living for seven years under the same room she would at least remember my name."
"PAPA I DIDN'T MEAN IT I'M SORRY!" she said hugging his leg, tears forming in her eyes.
"That's enough birdie…"interrupted Gilbert "I don't want my daughter to go to school crying"
"I'm sorry, I got a little carried away" he said rubbing the back of his head with one hand.
Matilda runned all over the place on the way to school while Mathew followed close behind, they lived in a small town so walking to places was not a problem. When they arrived, Matilda gave her Papa a hug and a kiss before running off inside the school.
ooooooOOOOooooooo
"Lucianna! Hurry the he- heck up or you're going to be late!" Lovino shouted as he waited by the door with a green backpack in his hand. After a couple seconds he heard rushed footsteps coming down the stairs. Lucianna came down wearing a stripped orange dress with a white very light sweater on top, white sneakers and on her hair her usual tomato clip.
"I'm ready!" she said cheerfully. Lovino helped luci put her backpack on while they waited for Antonio.
"ANTONIO!" He shouted becoming irritated.
"I'm coming, my little tomato!" said the Spaniard as he calmly walked down the stairs.
"At this rate you're going to be late for work idiota" he said crossing his arms. Luci glared at him and held out the jar. He let out an annoyed sigh and dropped another coin in.
"It doesn't matter if I'm my own boss" he said with a smile. Antonio was the owner of a pretty successful café while Lovino was more of a house wife…err…husband…person.
Lovino opened the door and shooed them both away "yea but your customers are not going to be happy"
As Antonio and Lucianna where walking to school they kept playing "I spy" to avoid getting bored.
"Your turn papi" said luci tugging on his hand.
"Ok…hmmm…" he looked around thinking "I spy with my little eye…something small and cute"
Luci looked around "a squirrel!" she said without hesitation.
"Nope" luci frowned and looked around again spotting a pond.
"Ooh a baby turtle!"
"Nope" he said again. "I'll give you another clue…it's small, cute and looks like me."
"Ummm…is it tomato!?" she asked giggling. Tomato was a stray cat that comes every day for food; he's a white cat with tan spots on his back, tail, and head.
"Tomato looks like me?"
"Yup!" she said still giggling, "he has messy hair like you and green eyes"
"Well if he looks like me then I guess he's a handsome little fella" they both laughed forgetting about the game as the school came in sigh. Lucianna quickly kissed this dad as she spotted Matilda and ran up to her giggling.
ooooooOOOOooooooo
Isobel looked out the car window with half lilted eyes as Francis drove her to school. They lived in a rich neighborhood outside of town but Francis preferred she attended the same school as Matilda and Lucianna since they had been friends almost since birth. He looked at his gloomy daughter from the corner of his eye. She was wearing a light purple Lolita dress with ballerina flats and white tights. Her hair was tied up in a bun with a rose stuck in place. "Ma petite rose, what's wrong?" he said breaking the silence.
Isobel let out a sigh not looking away from the window "I just don't feel like talking, papa" Francis glances at his daughter with a worried look.
"Isobel, I know you miss him but there's no reason to upset"
"He's not here papa" she said quietly.
"Don't worry ma petite rose, I have a feeling he'll be back before you know it!" he said trying to cheer Isobel up but failing so he decided to drop the subject.
As Francis pulled up on the side of the road, Isobel saw various kids with both their parents dropping then off at school and she immediately turned to look at the ground. Francis opened the door and she got off, pulling her blue backpack over her shoulders.
"Come on Isobel, could you smile for me?" Said Francis a he bend down to look at her. "You look prettier when you smile"
Isobel hesitated for a second but let out a small smile afterwards. "That's its…now promise me you'll keep that smile all day, oui?"
"Oui papa" she said hugging him before running inside with the rest of the kids.
ooooooOOOOooooooo
Isobel walked into the class room where she spotted Lucianna giggling and Matilda arguing with a boy that had neatly combed light brown hair with a piece sticking out in a swirl, a mole on the lower left sided of his mouth and big green eyes.
"Give me back my pencil Matilda!" yelled the boy.
"I didn't take your pencil you prick!" she yelled back to the slightly taller than her boy.
"Yes you did, I saw you!" They continued yelling back and forth. Isobel was about to say something when the teacher came in.
"Good morning Isobel!" she said with a nice smile.
"Good morning Mrs. Edelstein, Tilda and Jr. are fighting again"
Mrs. Edelstein looked at the scene before her and calmly walked up to them.
"I know you have it so give it ba- ouch!" Jr. was cut off by a hand smacking him on the head.
"RODERICH EDELSTEIN JR. LEAVE YOU COUSIN ALONE THIS INSTANT!" yelled the woman. She had long light brown hair that went to her back with a flower adorning it and green eyes.
"But mom she…" again she interrupted him.
"No buts and in school I am not your mother, I am your teacher understood?!"
"But…"
"Understood?!" the boy let out an irritated sigh.
"Yes mom" the woman smiled and walked over to the board to begin class.
The class room was, for once, quiet as all the kids concentrated on their math test. Matilda stuck her tongue out as she failed to remember the nines, Isobel flew through her test without hesitation and Lucianna worked at a normal pace.
Across the room everyone had a different expression on their faces. Jr. (already done with his test) angrily scribbled on a notebook, pictures of multiple bad thing happening to his cousin. A small raven haired boy with a cowlick and blue eyes stared blankly at his paper as he finished answering the last question, while a brunet girl with a panda print scarf sat with a creepy smile on her face intimidating a small blonde boy with hazel eyes and a curl sticking out the side of his head.
After everyone was done with their test, everyone went out of the classroom to eat their lunch.
ooooooOOOOooooooo
The girls sat on a bench at the playground holding their lunchboxes. Tilda's had the Prussian flag on it, Isobel's was blue and covered with roses and Lucianna's was shaped like a tomato (where they got it? no one knows).
"…sobel…Isobel…ISOBEL" Matilda yelled breaking her from her trance.
"I'm sorry… what did you say?" she said looking back at her friend and cousin who eyed her suspiciously.
"What were you staring at?" said Luci tilting her head to the side while Tilda took a bite out of her pancakes.
"I- I don't know" she said turning to the thing she was staring again. Luci looked in the same direction as Isobel, squinting her eyes. Tilda stayed completely oblivious to the situation.
"Are you staring at my cousin Bruno?" said Luci pointing at the small blond boy with the curl that looked like hers.
"No, that is weird." She said still unsure herself at what she'd been staring at. Luci looked a little closer.
"Are you staring at my cousin Marco?" Isobel turned to look at the nine year old. He had short blonde hair and blue eyes. He was sitting under a tree drawing while his brother Bruno watched carefully. Isobel blushed lightly without noticing. "YOU ARE!" she yelled victoriously.
"W-what? Why would I be staring at your cousin?"
"You like him don't you?!" she said again causing Tilda to spit out her juice.
"You like him?" she said not expecting her innocent friend (though she is a year older) to have a crush on Marco which happens to also be her cousin.
"I…I don't know"
"Don't worry, Tilda and I will help you…and I know just how. Papi told me a story about a trio that he and your dads were in called the bad touch trio" Luci said as though it was the answer to all their problems"
"Really Vatti told me that story too" said Tilda and Isobel nodded in agreement.
"Great I don't have to explain, OK so all we have to do is create our own trio and I know the perfect name for it." Tilda and Isobel looked at each other hoping for the worst but the name was actually pretty awesome (Tildas words) and it had a nice ring to it. "Bad Kiss Trio"
